The Grounds

After visiting the art gallery last week and having lunch in the beautiful Botanic Gardens, we sent the boys on an adventure - to find their way home by public transport.  This was prompted by the fact that we couldn't fit all of us in my car!

Monique then took all us girls to a place called The Grounds, in Alexandria.  I can only describe it as an old warehouse space which has been converted into rooms of gardens, with hanging plants and greenery everywhere.  There was even a mini petting zoo for the kids, complete with the biggest pig called Kevin Bacon (unfortunately I didn't take a picture of him).

There seem to be three main restaurants/eating areas, linked by avenues of greenery; it reminded me of a lush Edwardian greenhouse.  I have been trying to create a similar feel in our sunroom - visiting here was both inspiring and a tiny bit disheartening.
